Rechargeable Li-ion Battery

Characteristics

Understanding the properties of the rechargeable Li-ion battery will allow you to optimize its usage.

Using or storing the rechargeable Li-ion battery in a location exposed to high or low temperatures may accelerate its deterioration. In particular, using a rechargeable Li-ion battery with a high charge (charged 90% or more) in a location exposed to high temperatures will considerably accelerate battery deterioration.

Using the printer while the rechargeable Li-ion battery is installed and being charged may accelerate the battery’s deterioration. When using the printer with the rechargeable Li-ion battery installed, disconnect the AC adapter.

If the printer will not be used for a long period of time, remove the rechargeable Li-ion battery from the printer when its charge is 50% or less, and then store the battery in a cool place away from direct sunlight.

If the rechargeable Li-ion battery will not be used for a long period of time, we recommend charging it every 6 months.

For other precautions, refer to the instruction manual included with the rechargeable Li-ion battery.
